Beautiful Candles For Your Interior
Candle Care Instructions
- Trim the wick: Before lighting your candle, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) in length. This helps control the flame height and prevents excessive smoke or soot.
- Burn it right: On the first burn, allow the candle to create a full and even melt pool across the entire surface. This helps prevent tunneling and promotes an even burn for future uses. Do not burn candles for more than 4 hours at a time.
- Keep it steady: Place your candle on a heat-resistant surface and away from drafts, flammable materials, and anything that can catch fire. This helps prevent accidents and ensures the candle burns evenly.
- Stay attentive: Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep an eye on the flame and extinguish it before leaving the room or going to sleep.
- Extinguish with care: Use a snuffer or gently blow out the flame to extinguish the candle. Avoid using water as it can cause hot wax to splatter. Allow the candle to cool before handling or moving it.
- Mind the container: Avoid burning the candle all the way to the bottom to prevent the container from overheating or breaking.
- Keep it clean: Remove any debris, matches, or wick trimmings from the candle’s surface to prevent them from igniting or interfering with the flame.
- Store properly: Store your candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This helps maintain their quality and prevents any changes in their texture or fragrance.
- Candle holders: When using candle holders for pillar candles, ensure they are the appropriate size and shape to securely hold the candle. The holder should be heat-resistant and stable to prevent any accidents.
